Thea Von Harbou

The Indian Tomb Thea Von Harbou

The mysterious, fabulously wealthy Maharajah of Eschnapur kidnaps famous architect Michael Fürbringer and offers him unlimited resources to build a tomb to exceed the grandeur of the Taj Mahal. But the calculating, all-powerful prince is not what he seems, and the commission is actually the centerpiece of a diabolical murder plot. An unwilling journey into the heart of darkness begins Fürbringer's descent into a sinister, dream-like India, where he is imprisoned in a labyrinthine palace full of dark secrets and is ultimately forced to run for his life. Although filmed three times, Thea von Harbou's mystery-suspense-fantasy is presented here in English for the first time since its original publication in 1918.
